Boy do we know how to pick ‘em! The drive this morning was spectacular, the best scenery we have seen in Alaska. The weather was getting foggy yesterday when we stopped and we would have missed it all if we had driven the last 50 miles to Haines. Once again our RV park is right on the bay with a great view of the mountains across the water. The park is small and the people are friendly, which means no one from the east coast. The population of Haines is less than 1000 but I don’t know why, it’s a beautiful spot. Tonight the park had a fresh Dungeness crab/pot luck dinner for the people parked here. The food was wonderful, especially the crab, it’s a lot of work though. After dinner we watched the eagles for awhile then drove up the river to see if we could watch any bears catching salmon. They didn’t catch any either. (we didn’t see any) Had a campfire with some of the neighbors when we got back. One neighbor is traveling with 2 kids (8 & 9) plus a German Shepard and a rabbit, 4 bikes on top the car and 4 dirt bikes on back the motorhome. They are traveling for 2 years (been gone 15 months) and home schooling the kids. Another neighbor is traveling with 4 kids (12-10-8 & 4) and home schooling. They plan to travel for 2 years while figuring out where they want to live and what they want to do. They just sold their business and have been gone 3 weeks; said they have already won some bets. That would take a lot of courage. We will be here a couple of days then catch the ferry for Juneau. Going to skip Skagway.
